Seriously sad news. Not only a great cinematic actor, but also part of some superb television - The Good Life, Ever Decreasing Circles... RIP Mr Briers.

Oh no, not good old Richard Briers. How sad, he seemed like such a nice man and was a fine actor. My favourite scene of his is the one he did with Robert De Niro in Branagh's Frankenstein purely for the fact that when De Niro was doing the nihilistic Taxi Driver in 1976, Richard Briers was doing sweet sitcom The Good Life. It was a bizarre combination that worked well as they were both such good actors. I will miss him as I'm sure everyone will. Goodbye Richard. RIP

A great actor of comedy, drama and Shakespeare. Such a warming screen presence that will be sadly missed on British television.

Awww, that's sad news. He was awesome, I grew up watching his sitcoms and loved Roobarb and Alias The Jester when I was young too. He was also the best thing about Cockneys Vs Zombies in my opinion. RIP

That is sad. Richard Briers was an excellent Shakespearean actor. I loved him in Branagh's Hamlet, Much Ado About Nothing, Love's Labours Lost, and Frankenstein.

Rest in Peace and my deepest sympathies go out to his family.
